What happened
The 10-year U.S. Treasury yield rose above 4.81% on Wednesday, its highest level since November 2023, as a global government-bond sell-off pushed borrowing costs higher. The sell-off is being driven by renewed U.S.-Iran tensions that lifted U.S. oil prices above $90 a barrel, reinforcing inflation concerns alongside anxiety over America’s roughly $40 trillion debt load. Yields also climbed abroad, with 10-year UK gilts near 5.3%, German bunds at 3.378% and Japan’s 10-year yield above 3%. Higher Treasury yields can raise mortgage, auto-loan and credit-card costs and pressure stocks.
